Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 129 Arrogant Intimidation
Lu Bu and a group of people went down the mountain happily.

As for this matter, it was a surprise episode. Lu Bu neither said that this matter could be spread, nor did he say that it could not be spread.Anyway, this is an anecdote that can boost morale.However, it is not easy to publicize the field involving imperial power.

Secretly, you can spread the word viciously, and it can be regarded as a reminder to everyone, your boss, Lu Fengxian, will be the emperor in the future!
The coach returned, and the army continued to set off.

Zhang Liao's troops at the vanguard received bad news from the army.

It's not that Zhang Liao met a strong enemy and suffered a big defeat.Instead, he was harassed by Ma Teng's remnants in Tianshui County. The opponent often formed a small team, roaring through the mountains and forests, gathering some desperate people, forming a group, taking advantage of the familiar geographical environment, and dividing A group of people who attacked Zhang Liao many times.

Zhang Liao's troops were not vegetarians either. Although they were not familiar with the locals, they were not the ones who could not figure it out. Among the troops, there were many officers and soldiers who were also from Liangzhou.They took advantage of their numbers and, together with the local people who had been harmed by Ma Teng, started a small-scale but extremely violent fight with the attackers.

At the beginning, both sides had their own advantages, and the fight was evenly contested. However, Zhang Liao's troops were strong after all. After that, they won many victories and wiped out many opponents.

However, in this way, the remnants of Ma Teng who harassed the attack changed their tactics, became more secretive, and instead attacked the common people, as well as Zhang Liao's scouts and logistics soldiers.

"This is a harassing and exhausting tactic." Lu Bu said, he didn't expect Ma Teng to have such a brain and know how to do this.

However, the army crushed by, these trivial things, after all, it is the gnats shaking the big tree, the ants blocking the elephant, they can't stop it at all, it can be said that it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

"The wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows again." But Lu Bu would not give them a chance, and he would not accidentally be caught by Ma Teng's remnants.

Lu Bu's army was stationed in Xiangping, which is the center of Tianshui County.

"Chuan Ling, Lu Fang's troops occupied the two counties of Ayang and Chengji in the rear, and wiped out the remnants of Ma Teng with the two places as the center; Li Su's troops occupied Lueyang, Rongyi, Longxian, and Jiequan in the east. Counties, centered on various places, wiped out the remnants of the enemy army; Xu Rong's troops occupied Wanghuan, Qingshui and other places in the south, and wiped out the remnants! In addition, when the grain and grass from the rear arrive, you will also be responsible for distributing some of the grain to the local people! For a few months, our army's food and grass can last!" Lu Bu assigned the battle order.

Some logistics lines are getting longer and longer.

However, we only save the emergency, not the poor.Lu Bu's second hand is naturally to appoint local officials to take charge of local management.In order to govern Liangzhou, local officials have been selected and trained by Xun You from the Ministry of Officials.These county magistrates will be the solid cornerstone of Lu Bu's forces in Liangzhou, firmly anchored on the land of Liangzhou.

In this way, when Tianshui County is digested and absorbed, the pressure on logistics will be greatly reduced.After all, Lu Bu wanted to occupy and rule Liangzhou, not to plunder.This, like Guanzhong, will become the foundation of this power and contribute to Lu Bu's great cause.

In order not to let it hold back in the future, at this stage, food relief and assistance are necessary. Of course, this is a heart-wrenching process.

Hurrah, the consumption of grain and grass is as fast as running water, like the tears of Zhong Yao, who is in charge of grain and grass.

"Pay attention to the communication and alliance with the local people. Ma Teng burned, killed and looted, and our army does the opposite. It will get twice the result with half the effort, the best of both worlds! It not only destroys the enemy, but also stabilizes the rule." Lu Bu instructed.

Zhang Liao's vanguard was still the sharpest knife. He led the soldiers and horses. Under Lv Bu's order, he continued to advance without stopping, and went out to the Xiangwu area. people.As the junction channel between Tianshui County and Longxi County, Xiangwu's significance is self-evident.

However, Lu Bu's army still stagnated.

The heat of early summer did not show much power in this bitterly cold place in the northwest.On the contrary, at night, the howling cold wind brought coldness, defeated Xia Ri miserably, and retreated steadily.Lu Bu noticed the abnormal climate here, so he couldn't help but keep his heart.

"The farther you go to the west, the colder the night will be. Now, the soldiers can still bear it. It's hard to say when they arrive in Wuwei County. Order Zhong Yao, and prepare more clothes to keep out the cold!" Lu Bu didn't expect that the so-called summer, in the It's not hot here!

Flags fluttering, swords and guns like a forest, and crowds like a sea, they are all densely packed, covering the land.This is exactly the formation of Lu Bu's army barracks outside Xiangping City.

Due to the logistics supply, the Xiangping area suddenly became a huge market, very lively, with people coming and going, which indirectly promoted the economic development here.

"Marquis Wen, shall we just wait like this?" Xu Huang, who came up from behind and acted as a guard, came to the big tent and met Lu Bu.Cheng Lian, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others also said yes. They felt that Ma Teng's remnant was just a disease of the disease, which was not worth mentioning. Why did Marquis Wen wait here?

Commanding [-] troops, not going to attack the enemy, here, the people eat and feed the horses, plus aiding the people, the cost is not ordinary!If you continue, how can you bear it!
Lu Bu smiled slightly, "This Marquis knows that you have doubts, but the significance of military presence is not only a deterrent, but also a declaration of power! When Ben Hou stays here, people will know that Tianshui County belongs to me, Lu Bu. The local officials are full of confidence when they manage it! Since there is enough food and grass, let's stay for a while!"

"No!" Everyone had no choice but to nod.

"That's right! Let the word out! This Marquis will kill [-] Qiang people in this expedition! Only when this number is reached, will the attack on the Qiang people be stopped!" Lu Bu ordered in a startling manner.

what!what!
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.

"Wenhou, this...isn't this forcing the Qiang people to do their utmost to support Ma Teng and Han Sui and fight against us?" Gao Shun, who was also in charge of the flank guard, asked excitedly.

"That's right! That's it! The Qiang people are scattered all over Liangzhou. Do you want to wipe them out one by one? How long will it take? When Benhou speaks out, the Qiang people are naturally angry, indignant, very hostile, and full of resentment! Come on, those who can send troops will send troops! As long as you defeat them together! Liangzhou will be stable! The people who escaped the war can settle down in Liangzhou without any worries!" Lu Bu said coldly.

Everyone took a deep breath. Previously they were worried that there would be no battle, but now, this battle may be fought!
"So that's it! Marquis Wen is waiting here to attract Ma Teng and Han Sui, who have greatly increased in strength, to attack? The Qiang people were angry and sent troops. Ma Teng and Han Sui had the courage to fight our army! Set the battlefield in Tianshui And Longxi, it’s much better than staying in Wuwei or even farther away!” Xu Huang finally understood Lu Bu’s strategy and exclaimed.

"Haha! You know me!" Lu Bu laughed.
